You need a plan when it comes to disastery recovery. Relatively little stuff can add up to big problems for your organization if you're not prepared. You should first decide if a secondary data center or a cloud-based disaster-recovery-as-a-service solution (also known as DRaaS) makes the most sense for business continuity. CDW will help you choose the solution that best meets your needs and budget. No matter your choice, you'll be well-prepared in the event of a disaster, whether it's a powerful storm or a run-of-the-mill power outage.

In a typical data center north south traffic is secured through outside firewalls. But the east west traffic remains unsecured. NSX allows us to wrap that firewall around every VM enabling security on all of the east west traffic. Microsegmentation introduces security into the software defined data center by wrapping the firewall around every VM. I like to think of it as lets say your house is being burgalrized and someone is picking the front door. Once they get in they can move freely around your entire house finding whatever they want. But with NSX it'd be the equivalent of putting a padlock on every door of the house so that every time they'd want to go somewhere they would have to travel through that security. Traditional networking also doesn't provide the flexibility that we need going forward in the modern age of automation. The whole idea of a software defined network is automation. And adding automation to your network means that you can automate the entire bui...

The biggest challenge today is company’s that have older workloads that are still on premise and they’re looking at what do I do? How do I get to that next version? Do I invest it in my on premise infrastructure or do I move to the cloud? And when they look at it, do the math, look at the effort to move, the cloud becomes the way to go for those customers. There is a lot of variety in the cloud, but Microsoft has put it together in a nice package, so it makes it easy for customers to pick the workloads that they need and deploy those at their own leisure.
